sched: tidy up SCHED_RR
- make timeslices of SCHED_RR tasks constant and not dependent on task's static_prio [1] ; - remove obsolete code (timeslice related bits); - make sched_rr_get_interval() return something more meaningful [2] for SCHED_OTHER tasks. [1] according to the following link, it's not compliant with SUSv3 (not sure though, what is the reference for us :-) http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/7/656 [2] the interval is dynamic and can be depicted as follows "should a task be one of the runnable tasks at this particular moment, it would expect to run for this interval of time before being re-scheduled by the scheduler tick". (i.e. it's more precise if a task is runnable at the moment) yeah, this seems to require task_rq_lock/unlock() but this is not a hot path. results: (SCHED_FIFO) dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ sudo chrt -f 10 ./rr_interval time_slice: 0 : 0 (SCHED_RR) dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ sudo chrt 10 ./rr_interval time_slice: 0 : 99984800 (SCHED_NORMAL) dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ ./rr_interval time_slice: 0 : 19996960 (SCHED_NORMAL + a cpu_hog of similar 'weight' on the same CPU --- so should be a half of the previous result) dimm@earth:~/storage/prog$ taskset 1 ./rr_interval time_slice: 0 : 9998480 Signed-off-by: Dmitry Adamushko <dmitry.adamushko@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
